Please define the following terms and save them on your server account with the file name “last name first vocabulary”.

RAM
CPU
DVD burner
TV tuner card
Video Card


Where to save your documents: Your documents will be saved on the fileserver for this school. That fileserver can be logged on by going to “Start”, right click on “My Computer” and click on “Map Network Drive”. You will enter in “Z:” (unless you are an upperclassman and use the “H:” drive instead). For your address, it will be \\10.52.254.110\ and then the last two number of the year you will graduate and then your last name first, first name last (I would suggest right clicking after selecting your year and name and “copy” it. When you enter this address, it will then prompt you for your id and password. Paste in the above and then enter your student number for the password. We will be doing that today in class.

Make a folder entitled “Vocabulary”.

We will have a discussion on these terms. These terms will be part of the vocabulary that you will have to know for a test. There will be 20 total words that you will have to define as well as the information from the timeline you will work on today.

Furthermore, the first 13 words will be incorporated into a “virtual computer” that you will have to use the internet to search for each item, price them, and give me a final tally of what you “spent” on the hardware.

Introduce students to parameters of a search.
